Let's Use Natural Cleaning Solution: COOKING OIL

Salam everyone! Let me continue with my Natural Cleaning Solution Series.

As promised, I will share with you what you can do with cooking oil besides, well, what else is new, cooking:

Cast-iron pans:
Make a scrubbing paste with vegetable oil and a teaspoon of coarse salt to combat cooked-on debris, then rinse with hot water.

Hands:
To get paint off your skin, rub with vegetable oil, then wash thoroughly with soap.

Leather shoes:
Wipe away dirt with a damp sponge, then apply a drop of vegetable oil to a soft cloth and rub the surface to remove scuff marks. Buff the shoes with a chamois to a shine.

Rattan and wicker furniture:
To prevent rattan and wicker from drying or cracking, lightly brush them with vegetable or sunflower oil and gently rub in with a cloth. Warm the oil on the stove first to thin it and make it easier to apply.

Stainless-steel surfaces:
For extra sparkle, pour olive oil onto a cloth and buff.

Wood furniture:
Make your own polish by mixing 2 cups olive or vegetable oil with the juice of 1 lemon; work it in with a soft cloth. To smooth out scratches in light-colored wood, rub them with a solution of equal parts olive or vegetable oil and lemon juice.

Next item, Vinegar :)
